Cengage partners with Medford-Somerville B&G Club

Boston-based Cengage had employees and their children recently participate in the company’s “Kids Giving Back to Kids” activity, and packed summer camp kits for 63 Boys & Girls Club campers.

They were on hand at the Boys & Girls Club of Medford and Somerville earlier this month to donate summer camp supplies.

“As an education and technology company, we are proud to support organizations like the Boys & Girls Club that empower students to gain confidence,” Cengage said in an email to the Transcript. “We especially admire the organization’s commitment to scholarship and student success. When Ashley Donahoe, an employee, spoke passionately about her involvement with the club and their needs, we were thrilled to donate summer camp kits full of fun goodies and National Geographic Learning readers.

The kits include reading materials from National Geographic Learning, Cengage’s K-12 division, and other supplies. In addition, the company collected summer camp supplies from employees to be donated to the organization.

This year marked the first time that Cengage has worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Medford/Somerville.
